I've been living in different countries for years and I came back to where I grew up last year. I have one friend left in this city - the others I had before moved away too. I see her from time to time, but there's no fun anymore... I don't know. We've changed I guess. Otherwise, I work a lot and I don't have much occasions to meet new people and sometimes it's frustrating. Thank God I don't mind solitude. Plus, with my depressive past, I never settled down or had kids, I'm not in tune with most people my age. I don't have a pension fund, I don't have a stable job, I don't change diapers all day, etc... I'm not bored, on the contrary - if anything I have too many interests in life! But I am lonely at times. I like solitude, but too much of it can get to me.
So I wish I had different friends than the one I have here too. I have better friends elsewhere, that I left behind each time I moved, and I appreciate that. But e-mails and phone calls are limited in terms of human contact. Oh well.
